  • Elementary, Dear Data (TNG)
    Jun 26 2025

    With nothing better to do while waiting for a meetup, Data and Geordi fuck off in the holodeck to kill some time. But when Dirty Doctor Pulaski pushes Geordi to do the "create a holodeck nemesis to outsmart Data" TikTok Challenge, shit goes sideways. Does Pulaski EVER apologize? How long can you store a hologram on a floppy disk? Why don't the people running NuTrek™ see that filler bottle episodes like this give us time to breathe and develop characters and their relationships and stop trying to save the whole ass universe every episode?

  • Where Silence Has Lease (TNG)
    Jun 19 2025

    The D gets stuck inside a hole where things aren't necessarily what they appear to be. The alien that lives here, Nagilum, purportedly wants to learn about how humans die, but does this episode pay that off? How many Bridges are there? When will Pulaski get over herself? How long would you like to prepare for your death?
